Do you ever listen to real music and think to yourself "why do I listen to hip hop when all they rap about is their money and cars??"

Henryk Gorecki - Symphony number 3 (part 1)



This is all I can listen to lately. Beautiful.

Full piece;

[Fart]

Yes and no. There's plenty of rap that's real music but i know what you mean. Even new 'rock' really fucking sucks now, too

[Figgly Wiggly]

*walks in*

ah....
...oh...


*walks out*

[DLB]

most of this new era lacks innovation.

then some trash shit comes out like Yeezus and niggas still giving it an A for effort type shit

Pusha T dropped the best shit out in an album this year. fuck mixtapes too

I think it has reached a point in the music industry in general where you dont have to be talentedlike you did many yrs ago, beatles, johnny cash, elvis etc....now all you need is to be able to sell sex....have big tits and a pretty face if you're a pop star.

I cant listen to the radio, havent done so in over 10 years, it does my head in with all the recycled crap, once youve heard one song about getting drunk youve heard them all...and who cares how big your house is or your 10x mistress'?

I prefer timeless classics now such as movie scores and orchestral pieces. They inspire me more than 'regular' music anyway, which is why we all listen to music in the first place isnt it?

I think what you're not realizing is there were pretty pop stars back then, too. Think about disco. Mindless music has existed forever, but it doesn't stay relevant, so only the good stuff gets remembered. If you go back and look at the No. 1 hits of the 1960s and 1970s, you'll see a mix of respected and memorable acts and groups you've probably never heard of, at least other than their one big song.

In 40 years, they'll be talking wistfully about the days when Arcade Fire and Adele and Jay-Z were big-named musical acts. They'll have forgotten about fun. and Demi Lovato and 2Chainz.

keyword: respected.

none of these musicians now deserve respect. i'm starting to lose respect for Jay-Z with every new album he's released after the Black Album. Adele's cool tho, her last album was a classic tbh. all these people just are out to make pop music, Jay-Z included, Adele doesn't really hope to make it. she is IT. she can make the industry go her, Jay Z doing pop shit on songs and getting outshined by Justin Timberlake on both now

Canon in D


every time i hear that i wonder why i listen to a lot of the 'ish i listen to, and then i think about what an amazing beat it would make with a BASIC drum pattern layered on top of it, and then i remember Coolio attempted that and, while i still somehow liked it enough at the time to cop the single due to the music alone, i shed a solitary tear for the fact that it really wasn't even close to doing the canon justice. lol

Classical really does translate better. A lot of Baroque sounds like easy-listening.

word? personally i just can't imagine boy band pop music inspiring several other genres of music eras from now.

but hey, maybe you're right and I should start holding boy band pop music in higher regard.

study music history instead of making snide comments and you might learn a thing or two.

baroque was seen as exaggerated yet simplistic, most of the techniques used were extremely basic and monotonous, then padded with excessive flourishes to make them seem more impressive than they actually are. add in a ton of ornamentation to cover up mistakes / lack of talent and there you have it. the sampling and autotune of the era.

it's fraud music.

I like Canon in D because of a feeling, not because of the popular consensus of their day which you studied in school.
